HAND SEEKS DIVORCE IIo Allcces Thnt Hi Wlfo Heat Him nnd Kevllod Hint in tho Conned! Terms. Michael Hand, the well-known brewer, yesterday began proceedings to secure a divorce fiom his wife, Bridget Hand. The libel in the case filed with Prothonotnry Copeland would indicate that Mr. Hand is a much abused man and that his matrimonial experience with the present Mrs. Hand hne been everj thing but pleasant. He was (ompelled several weeks ngo to wlthdiaw from the home occupied by himself and wife nnd is now tesldlng with his daughter, Mrs. ltutledge, on Mousey acnue. Mr. nnd Mrs. Hand weie married on Oct. 14, 1S9C, at St. Paul's church In Green Rldgp. Roth had been miuried befote. Mrs. Hand's first husband was the late Richard McHugh, a man of consideiable means, whose latter years were saddened by an eye trouble which eventually resulted In total blindness, lie was much older than his wife nnd when he died some half-dozen jeuis ago he left her in Independent circum stunces. Mr. Hand alleges that soon after he tnnirled the former Mrs. McHugh she begnn to abuse him first with her tongue and afterwards with her hands. She frequently boat him. Later on she thtcatened to poison him, he (.ays. She continued to ieile him in the coarsest terms, he alleges, nnd unable to bear her tjeatment longer he was compelled to lent her several weeks ago.

'DUMING'S SUCCESSOR NAMED Select Council la No Hurry to Conllrm P. J. 0'Doyle. HB IS MAYOR DAILKY'S CHOICE XOrt STREET COMMISSIONER RUT THE CANDIDACY OF E. A. I'lTZStM MONS UPSETS HIE ADMIN1ST11A TION'S PLANS-ATTORNEY REEDY THE SCHOOL DOARD SOLICITOR, CONTINUES TO WRITE LETTERS WHICH SELECT COUNCIL IGNORE. Several matters of Import developed, as had been expected, ut last night's meeting of select council, but each was disposed of with more expedition and less obstruction than was anticipated. It being close to the date on which, It was understood, Street Commissioner A. 11. Dunning Intended to resign, no surprise was occnsloned by Mnyor Butley's communication nominating P. J. O'Eoyle to succeed the present head of the street department on July 1. Mr. McAndrew moved that the nomination be considered and Mr. Me Cnnn moved to refer. President Chit tenden ruled that tho former motion had precedence nnd that the nomina tion would be referred by rule If tho former motion did not prevail, The motion to consider was lost by the following otc of 9 to 12: A os Messrs. Rors, Finn, Robinson, Sanderson, Schroeder, Lansing, O'Uoyle, Conc and McAndrew. Nas Messrs. Kearney, Thomas, Will iams, James, Roche, Mclvln, Wagner, Shea, MeCann, Frablc, Fellows, Chit tenden. Pisldent Chittenden then declared the nomination leferred without mo tion. THE RESIGNATION. Mr. Dunnlng's resignation to take effect July 1 was submitted to Mayor Halley several days ngo. Although Major lialley favors the appointment of Mr. O'Uoyle, his confirmation by councils is by no means nssured. This Is Indicated In last night's action. The reason appears in the canvass of E. A Fltzslmmons for the olllce. He Is a Democrat and has been Mr. Dunnlng's chief assistant. The fact that ho Is a brother of Colonel Frank Fltz slmmons who possesses no little influ ence In local Democratic circles, makes his candidacy very strong. As has been explained by The Trib une, Mr. Dunnlng's resignation is caused by the exacting duties to be re quired of him In promoting the Dun ning Engineering nnd Construction company. The company Is now arrang ing Its suite of offices in the Mears building and receiving supplies with which to begin work. The opportunity nfforded for a successful business ven ture nnd the nttentlon it would require obliged Mr. Dunning to relinquish his municipal office. He will act until his successor is appointed- Fiotn Attomey D. J. Reedy, solicitor of the boaid of control, wns received the following letter dated yesteiday uigliifr councils to heed the board's i evolution lead at the previous meet ing asking for a ceitlflcd copy of tho tax assessment- MR. REEDY'S LETTER. I wculd levpeetfullv coll your attention to tho resolution of tho Scranton boatd of control of June 13, 1S0S. asking for a ropy it the clly iii.sesinieiu introduced into the select coumll June 2". und ic forrod to a committee. The act of assembly under which the sinio (hue some words h.ie evidently been inudvcrtmtl) emitted) Is us fol lows "Section 2 The city cleric or other competent person authorized by clly councils shall make for the uo of tho school board a tiuo copy of the com pleted assessment nnd slnll duly ceitlfv the .same to said beard " Act May 23 lbr7, V. L ST,. In view of the urgent i.tre-sltj of the samo I would request th.it the net of nssembl nnd the lesolutlon of the' school board be compiled with at this meeting. On motion of Mr. Roche the commu nication wns leferred to tho Judiciary committee for consideration In connec tion with the resolution. City officials contend that the pro posed copy and new method of com piling: nnd lecordlng the school tnx would cost the city MOO, the boatd of control $400 nnd tho elty treasurer about $200 or $900 more than the cost of the system formerly employed which involved an outlay of but $100. Attorney Reedy came In for further, but briefer, consideration in connec tion with a second letter reminding councils of their falluie to take action on tho boatd of control's demand for its Hhare of police fines, and warning councils that the attorney would "bo compelled to institute suit for tho re covery of the amount" if councils failed to oider the money paid. The letter was referred to commltttee. SPRINKLING ORDINANCE. The ordinance prohibiting the spi ink ling of asphalt pavements and tepeal Ing nny ptovlous action Inconsistent therewith wns iepcrtd favorably by committee and Its passage was later moved on Mist reading by Mr. Sander son. -Mr. Roche opposed this action on the ground that councils had given the Dunn Sprinkling nnd Street Cleaning company a fianchlse, permlttlntr tho company to sprinkle rtreets paved or unpitved. The franchise, he said, was a contract and tho city might make It self liable by repudiating it through tho passage of the ordinance under consideration. Thin view wu& support ed by Mr. Kearnej. Mr- Sanderson nnd Mr. Lansing spoke against the practice of sprink ling: asphalt during the div, claiming that it dlelntegrnted the surface. Flushing the pavement at night, they argued, did not affect the pavement as the din and other substances 'vera washed off und did not remain to bo ground Into grit nor did the sun act upon the dampened surface. Ammonia, they said, was generated by tho action of tho water and tun and rotted tho surface. Mr. Roche's motion to refer the ordl nance to the city solicitor for his opin ion ns to Its effect on the sprinkling franchise was adopted. Fjom Mayor Rulley wuh received a communication removing H. W. Stock, stoker of Nny Aug Engine company, for cnuse. Tho lemoval was referred to committee, as wos tho mayor's nomination of Gcorgo Suydam as Stock's successor. The same nctlon was accorded the mayor's nomination of John J. Flnnnghan, ex-common councilman, of the Eighth wnrd, to be Inspector of tho Dix court paving con tract. STREET CLEANING I3IDS From Street Commissioner Dunning was received und filed his deductions from the pavement cleaning bids. The flgures, according to the street com missioner, ate as follows: W. J, Burke, $1,314.61 per month for cleaning and $1,353.39 for flushing; James Kearney, $1,546 88 for cleaning nnd $1,740.09 for flushing, city to pay cost of water; Dunn ltros., $8,500 for eight months for cleaning nnd $1,200 for wntcr. Among the concurrent resolutions adopted were the following: Directing the removal of street railway tracks from the middle to the side of Svvet lnnd street between Main and Hromley avenues; directing the city engineer to estimate tho cost of a sewer on Rail road avenue. Ordlnnnces pnssed first nnd second readings ns follows: (Common) pro viding for sidewalks, curbstones, etc., on certain Ninth wnrd streets; (select) providing for sidewalks on Pleasant street.

"Tho officers of the guard who are not with the regiment retain the posi tions In the companies they held when they wont tc Gretna. All thut will have to be done Is to take the men now In each comranv and get suffic ient recruits to give each company a membership of fifty.
